Originally published in 1971 and now reissued with a new Preface by John Offer this book examines the historical origins, both institutional and academic of social policy and administration and at the theoretical contribution of such key figures in the development of the social sciences as Marx, Spencer, Weber and Durkheim. It then analyses the application or normative theory in this field; at the concepts of exchange and stigma in social welfare; and at the idea of citizenship and the use of the social services. In a final section the author presents a number of models of social welfare.
